How does Rainbow Six Extraction’s leveling system work

Rainbow Six Extraction has a leveling system that can be a bit confusing at first. In Extraction, players will work in teams of three with other Operators to complete objectives on their mission to understand and defeat a new alien enemy known as the Archaean. Along the way, players will receive XP that will go towards their leveling, but leveling has three different facets.

There are three things to look at when gaining XP to level up in Rainbow Six Extraction. Operator Advancement, the Tech Tree, and Milestones all have their own leveling system though the XP does overlap during their progression.

Operator Advancement

Operator Advancement will increase the level of a specific Operator in the game. Each Operator has ten levels and will be awarded XP alongside the Milestones. Leveling up an Operator will give players access to new weapons and equipment that are exclusive to that Operator. Players will need to be using the Operator they want to level up when playing a mission as only the Operator used will receive XP from objective completion.

Tech Tree

The Tech Tree is separate from Operator Advancement and Milestones in that it is not progressed via XP but rather through points. These points can be obtained by furthering the Milestones, so in a way, XP increase does progress the Tech Tree but it is not what players will be spending on upgrades. The Tech Tree is where players will unlock new tech, weapons, and equipment.

Milestones

Milestones can be most easily understood as your player-level. As players gain XP their Milestone level will progress. Leveling up Milestones will allow players access to new Operators and other rewards. There is a level cap of 30 for Milestones.
